SOUTH YARMOUTH — An 83-year-old woman was taken to Cape Cod Hospital on Wednesday afternoon after suffering serious injuries when her vehicle collided with another car on Old Main Street.

Meanwhile, the driver of the other car, Jessica Calkins, 21, was arrested at the scene, not because she caused the accident, but rather because she had two warrants out for her arrest for drug-related charges, said Yarmouth police Officer Mary Gibney.

Calkins, who is homeless, was allegedly driving a car that was not hers.

Around 4 p.m., police responded to Old Main Street near River Street, where the older driver had stopped at a stop sign before proceeding and colliding with Calkins, said Gibney.

Calkins, who was not injured, was arrested on a slew of charges, including possession of heroin, giving a false name to police, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, driving with revoked registration and driving an uninsured motor vehicle.

She is being held without bail, mostly because of the warrants, Gibney said.
